Marcus Smart Goes for 39 Against Memphis

On the surface, the delay doesn't seems to be a 'smart' thing to do if nba money & glory are the only considerations. Perhaps he wants to win a NCAA championship, or perhaps even for staying in school for education. Heard rumor that Parker is talking about staying more than 1 year at Duke. There are family expectations too and Parker's mom is known to be very insistent that he gets a good education which is the reason why he chose Duke over others.

 

If he stays, that would be CRAZY!..

 

Not putting Smart in Tier 1 is foolish. You obviously have seen the guy play enough.

 

has a bit of nick anderson in him. (missed 3 fts to gift wrap game for butler late, but christmas did not come early for butler)

 

Butler had his number today and he could have handled it a little better.

Butler would have won if they had more players that could score. They have no margin for error against good teams.

 

Neither Dunham or Marshall had productive games: it's not often that a team has a chance to win despite mediocre games from its two leading scorers. In any case, Oklahoma State was fortunate to have escaped with a win against a good Butler squad that will likely be a factor for the entire season.

Don't know where to post this, but this thread was best I could find... Smart just lost his mind. In a 2-point game with eight seconds to go, he just went into the stands in Lubbock and shoved a fan in the chest. Complete meltdown.

He's got some issues.

 

Wonder what the fan said.

 

See, this is why it's better for teams to tank instead of fighting for the 8th or 9th seed.
